Is Nathan Brown the second most overrated coach ever?

[Silent Knight]

Don’t worry Knights fans our mob of Plodders will play you back into form.

You really don't understand how the Knights work do you?

Our only hope is if we give you worse Aids than we have.

Newcastle Knights injuries

Mitchell Pearce (pectoral, round 18-22)
Jacob Saifiti (shoulder, round 23)
Brock Lamb (cheekbone, round 15)
Tautau Moga (knee, season)
Nick Meaney (ankle, round 13)

It's not just losing Pearce, but Brock Lamb as well (and Moga to a much lesser degree)
There aren't many teams who would fare too well with both their starting halves missing

Take Cronk and Keary out of the Roosters, Thurston and Morgan from the Cowboys, Hunt and Widdop from the Dragons and I doubt they'd win many games either.

Brock Lamb isn't our starting half - unless you mean NSW Cup.

Connor Watson is the first choice at 6 and even Jack Cogger had been preferred at times ahead of Lamb.
But don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

I thought Brock had started and Watson was coming off the bench
If that's not the case, my bad

Brock lamb being injured is a good thing. His first grade career will be short and unmemorable

I will forever remember him as being a NSW prospect talked up by Matty Johns................
Along with the other 7,000 people in the same category whose names I can't remember

If Matty Johns picked rep teams all 400 players in the NRL would be getting a run at some point.

 

[Silent Knight]

Brock Lamb will go the same way as Jake Mamo, Adam Clydsdale and Beau Henry. Hyped up but never really amounted to anything.

That's why the NSW'ers only sketch was funny when he short listed 80 players in the running for a Blues jersey

Bit harsh. He’s already achieved more than all 3 of those and is still only 21.

 

[nick87]

I think the knights would be stupid to get rid of brown
Not before he’s given at least 4, maybe 5 more years to right the ship

Personally I’m a HUGE fan of his work at that club

Happy to be proven wrong, but I've been face palming a lot based on his efforts this year.

Love when commentators come up with 16 second rowers who if they somehow miss out it'll be a bloody outrage

 

[blaza88z]

So how long do they give him?

He could milk the f**k out of the board and get a good 5-6 years as head coach and keep playing the "we just don't have the cattle" card, I don't think he's actually said that publicly but I am sure that's what he is thinking when he brings in signings from other clubs and they suffer long-term injuries

The club's new owners, West's, aren't stupid. They're the most successful club in the Newcastle rugby league. If the results aren't there, they'll do everything they can to turn it around, including changing coaches if need be. That's the very reason they're looking to sign brown to an open ended contract. It means that if he gets the team firing he can continue to be the coach, but if the team continues to perform poorly then they can pretty easily get rid of Brown without having to worry about messy contract situations (ala Bulldogs with des)

 

[T-Boon]

Lamb was progressing well last season. Very good skill.
I think he could go to England and come back like Blake Green.

He had a shit start no doubt but I thought he was looking better over the last few weeks until he got hurt.

 

[Maroon4life]

f**k em’

Knights and Brown are a match made in heaven.

How can you go past this guy for overrated coaches
